If your lawn is looking a bit bedraggled and in need of a new lease on life, lawn turfing is a very popular option for the impatient gardener who doesn’t want to wait for seeds to grow.
Although more costly, turfing is a great way to immediately have your lawn looking vibrant and healthy. Lush grass growth has never been so quick or easy!
If you’re considering laying fresh turf on your lawn, you may be trying to decide when you’ll be doing it. It is generally accepted that the best time to lay turf is in autumn – you can read more about that here.
If you don’t want to wait for autumn to roll around again, you may be wondering whether or not you can lay turf in winter.
Laying Turf in Winter
To put it simply, yes, it’s possible to lay turf in winter. Cold weather doesn’t affect the laying of turf, and frost doesn’t cause any long-term damage to fresh turf. However, it is generally not advised to lay turf on frozen ground. If it cannot be avoided, so long as the rolls are thawed enough to lay, it can be done.
Some actually consider winter to be a good time of year for turf laying since a lawn is generally less used in the winter months, which can allow your lawn more time to recover. Freshly turfed lawns generally require around 3 weeks to recover. If you decide to lay turf in the winter, we would advise that you avoid walking on frosted grass whenever possible.
